Biography: 
Conor Brennan made his senior football debut as a 15 year-old, in a 1-0 Mid-Ulster Cup semi-final defeat by Glenavon in March 2010. At the time he was also a pupil at St. Colmcille's High School in Crossgar, Northern Ireland Schoolboy's regular number one and a former member of the County Down Milk Cup squad. Early in the following season he joined Leicester City, but he was released after three seasons.

Brennan joined Kilmarnock in 2013, becoming Kenny Shiels' final signing before his sacking. He spent his first season at Rugby Park in the Under-20 squad, appearing on the bench for the firstteam for the first time in February 2014. From the start of the following campaign he was a match-day regular, making his debut in October in a 2-0 win over Dundee United, coming on as a half-time for Craig Samson who had suffered a broken toe.

Having played for Northern Ireland at every age-group level, Brennan won his first Under-21 cap in August 2013 against Denmark, in a friendly at his old home ground in Dungannon which resulted in a 1-4 defeat. However, when he was substituted at half-time the scoreline was 1-1.

In order to gain more experience Brennan was loaned to Scottish League one side Stranraer at the start of the 2015/16 season, but he was recalled early as Kilmarnock suffered a goalkeeping injury crisis. At the end of the 2015/16 season Brennan was released by Killie.

Biography:
Following his release by Nottingham Forest in May 2010 Sean McCashin joined the Glenn Hoddle Academy, based in Spain, which aims to give unattached young players a second chance in football. As part of a financial arrangement the academy "loans" players to Spanish fourth-tier club, Jerez Industrial and as such their team was made up of mainly British and Irish players. Among the coaches that McCashin worked with in Spain was former Northern Ireland goalkeeping-coach, Dave Beasant.

McCashin returned home in January 2012 to sign for Distillery before joining Glenavon for the following campaign.

Biography:
A product of the highly successful Dungannon Swifts youth system, Mark McAllister came to the fore during the Swifts' run to the 2007 Irish Cup final in a season in which he scored 15 goals but missed from the spot in a penalty shoot-out defeat by Linfield. At the end of that season, only just 19 years-old, he undertook a successful trial with Celtic, but turned down an offer of a contract citing too much competition for places. Instead he sought a move to another mainland club with the likes of Cardiff, Norwich and Leeds all showing an interest. The expected move never materialised, but he did earn Northern Ireland Under-21 and Under-23 caps over the next few seasons and he scored the Swifts' first "major" European goal as Lithuanian side Sudava were defeated 1-0 at Windsor Park in the UEFA Cup in July 2007. When McAllister did eventually leave Stangmore Park in January 2009, it was for a part-time deal with Linfield for a fee believed to be around £35,000. He made his Blues debut in an Irish Cup win over PSNI and scored his first goal in a 1-0 league win back at Dungannon Swifts that same month. Although McAllister has collected the biggest honours since moving to Windsor Park, he has often found himself on the bench due to strong competition for places. In May 2011 he scored a late winner in the Irish Cup final win over Crusaders and scored a brace the following year as the cup was retained against the same opposition.

Biography:
A member of Mal Donaghy's Northern Ireland Under-19 squad that played at the 2005 UEFA European Championship Finals as host, as a youngster Dermot McCaffrey played with Fivemiletown United, then of the Fermanagh & Western League before joining Dungannon Swifts. He made just one substitute appearance for the Swifts before moving to SPL side, Hibernian in 2004.

A veteran of the 2003 Milk Cup competition where he impressed for County Tyrone, for Northern Ireland Under-19, McCaffrey appeared at both left-back and as a left-sided central defender. At the 2005 European Finals he played in Northern Ireland's opening two matches, defeats by Greece and Serbia & Montenegro. He stepped up to the Under-21 squad for a two match tour of Israel in February 2006, playing in the second 1-0 win. For the next two years he was a regular in the squad, featuring most regularly at left-back.

McCaffrey made his debut in Scottish football while on loan at Queen of the South against Ross County in September 2006. He played eleven times in all during a three month spell with Queens, impressing with his pace. Through the rest of the season he featured on the bench for Hibs on several occasions, finally making his debut on 21st April 2007, starting in defence against Aberdeen as manager John Collins rested several players ahead of an impending Scottish Cup semi-final. It proved a bitter-sweet occasion as McCaffrey was sent-off for two yellow card offences in the dying minutes of a 2-2 draw. That proved to be his only firstteam appearance while at Easter Road.

A season long loan deal took McCaffrey to First Division Livingston where he played regularly at both left-back and centre-back. On his return to Hibernian he was released and almost immediately signed with another SPL club, Falkirk. He played just twice in a season-and-a-half with The Bairns and early in the 2009/10 season was sent out on loan to Second Division, Arbroath. On 20th January 2010 McCaffrey was released by Falkirk. He joined Dundalk on trial a few days later before re-joining Dungannon Swifts.

After scoring 7 goals in over 60 appearances for the Swifts McCaffrey joined Derry City for the 2012 season. He re-joined Dungannon after 18-months having struggled to establish himself in the starting eleven at the Brandywell.

Biography:
A defender during his younger days, Shea Campbell switched to centre-forward at Ballymena United where his goals fired the team back to the Premier League and brought him an Under-21 cap. In the years that have followed he has developed into something of a journey-man and has often returned to a defensive role.
